ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. IMPROVING THE TOURIST BUSINESS. It is gratifying to Alaskans to find Thomas B. Wilson, Vice-President and General Manager of the Alaska Steamship Company, alive to the possibilities of the tourist traffic and already committed to a i how generous or broad the terms of that license may be, nor with what honesty of purpose and solemnity of promise the inten- tion is declared to leave each newspaper full .liberty of expression, the fact remains that on the day on which the press submits to a license it will have abdicated its posi- tion and abandoned its trust. Once let the principle of licenses be established and a way will be opened that cannot be closed for the “revocation of such licenses for the violation of the terms or conditions thereof.” The above statement is made so that all may know of the difficulties confronting newspaper publishers and of their desire to cooperate with the President in his pro- gram for recovery. This difference is not insurmountable. It ought to be possible to work out a satisfactory plan ! protecting the right of the nation to a free press without harming the recovery plan, particularly when those who are negotiating are as fair-minded as. Gen. Johnson has proved himself to be and as really sympathetic and as much in harmony with the spirit and purpose of the President's great program as are the newspapers of the land. The late Tom Marshall, one-time Vice-President of the country, said the nation’s need was for a good five-cent cigar. If he were with us today he probably would change it to a big five-cent beer. The Roosevelt Administration has apparently Jjettisoned the machine age slogan: “Drive with caution; equipment at work,” and substituted for it: “Drive with caution; men at work.” Mayor Dore Agaili Battles Tax Wasters. (Seattle Business Chronicle.) Struggle over dissipating the taxpayers’ money is on again at Seaftle City Hall. Mayor John F. policy of larger and more comprehensive advertising\pore wants to continue holding down expenditures, campaigns and service improvement as a means of and the radical bloc in the City Council, as usual, building it up. Juneau, headed by the Chamber of Commerce, have endeavored in a modest way, limit of its financial resources, to bring here a greater volume of tourists. Its main objective was directed to getting them to come to Juneau to spend a few days or weeks. And while the results were readily discernible, the success was not as great as it should have been. There was one main handicap—the difficulty of obtaining stopovers with an assurance of getting reservations at any time they were required for the return voyage. All efforts to solve this difficulty were futile during the years that Summer travel was heavy. During the past two years, of course, there has been no trouble from that source. But when the current depression is ended and people are again ready to travel, unless provision is made before to take care of the situation, it will recur again. In its plans for service betterment, the Alaska Steamship Company could take no step that would commend it more to the people of Alaska than this one. Mr. Wilson is not the Iirsi to visuallze Alaska as a Winter playground as well as a mecca for Summer tourists. Others have dreamed the same dream, but it still remains in the dream world. He, more than anyone else, is in position to do some- thing about it. And the interests he represents will benefit more than anyone else if he does. Alaska has the Winter sports, skiiing, ice-skating, tobog- ganning, sledding, and the grandest Winter scenery the world has to offer. It would not be difficult nor unduly expensive to develop one or a number of Winter sport resorts. The Alaska Steamship Com- pany has the vessels crying for useful and paying service and the funds to develop the Winter play- ground idea. It is to be hoped that its new General Manager can find some way to bring the several For many years the people of [is opposing him. All this in face of the fact that there are now possible within the |in King County more than 35,000 parcels of real jestate that have been confiscated for taxes. Title to these 35,000 pieces of property now vests in the County—property off the tax rolls, and remaining property owners must provide by higher taxes the money to take care of this constantly mounting deficit in ordinary public revenues. The Fitts- Misener bloc in the City Council (whose own tax payments are negligible) are working on a scheme to raise more than $3,347,000 of added revenues from sources other than taxes on realty and personalty. This means, if carried through, additional nuisance taxes and license fees and occupational taxes—all penalizing people who want to live in or try to do business in Seattle. A good advertisement to attract capital desirable population? and Last Year’s Conference. (Mancheter, Eng., Guardian.) If there is one thing more discouraging than preaching world economic co-operation it must surely be preaching Empire Free Trade. It happened on Tuesday that both facets of Imperial com- merce were illumined at once by Parliamentary discussion. While in the Commons Mr. Thomas was being shepherded into admitting that since the Ottawa Agreements were signed there have been no material concessions made to British manu- facturers by either Canada or Australia, a suc- cession of speakers in the House of Lords was de-| nouncing the ruinous competition of the Dominions with the British producers of butter, eggs, and cheese. That is to say, from the Protectionists angle, we have had the worst of both bn.rga,lm The spokesmen for the Government in both Houses put up a very lame defense of the agreements. Lord De La Warr could only hope that a time elements into effective conjunction to breathe life [Would come “when it would pay the Dominions into his idea. THE PRESS RESERVATION. to relax the letter of the agreements in order to carry out the spirit”; Mr. Thomas referred obscurely to “circumstances in the Dominions, for which they are not wholly responsible, which have created dif- ficulties for them,” and then escaped into facetious- In submitting the general fair competition code|Dness. When one remembers what faith was put in for the newpapers of the country, which was shortly rejected by Gen. Johnson and on which negotiations are still in progress, the Committee of Newspaper Publishers which drafted the code, issued an ex- planation to accompany it. Among other things it pointed out that the scales of wages paid by the press of the country are higher than those for corresponding work in other trades; its hours of work, except among those exempted under the code as well as under the President’s blanket agreement, usually shorter per day than most others; that its oxpenses remain high even though most other indus- tries are operating with skeleton crews; and that had other industries maintained the same scale of wages, hours of work and full shifts that the press had, there would be no need for any code. We do not think the Committee has overstated the case. Notwithstanding that, the press generally is whole- heartedly supporting the President's program and enrolling under the blanket code pending the ap- proval of a permanent ore of its own making. The really serious daivergence between Gen. John- son and the press is over the right of the. press to operate without being tied down by a license—the Constitutional right of a free press. The Commit- tee's code made a reservation on this point, ex- plaining its position as follows: Now, as to the constitutional aspects of this question, the National Industrial Re- covery Act provides that those subject to its provisions may be licensed and also author- izes the use of injunction to restrain viola- tions. With the authority to license, there is also the power to deny, suspend and re- voke licenses. These provisions cannot be applied to newspapers because of the specific pro- hibition in the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States against the enactment by Congress of any law abridging the freedom of the press. This committee is not authorized to ex- press any decision for individual newspapers and every publisher will, as of right, decide for himself what course he will pursue in this instance. Certain considerations, how- ever, must be faced. First, under a government by the people, and above all in times of doubt and dis- ueu,mnndewlvflmiluuunuuw preservation of free institutions as a press. Second, no press can be free if hwwwm-m . be subject to injunction. It does not ma g £ & \ t may or matter Ottawa a year ago, and how the agreements finally concluded were hailed as glorious achieve- ments by those whose hopes ran highest, one can- not escape a wry smile at these halting excuses. That the World Economic Conference should have failed—as to all intents it has done—is a bitter blow to most of us. But did we benefit any more from the Conference which succeeded? Another King Dethroned. (Daily Journal of Commerce, Seattle.) “Priest and king” of his household and the absolute head thereof is the father as against the mother and her rights as to the custody of their children. Such was the contention of counsel for the father in a court action in New York. It appeared that the “priest and king” had, during the mother's absence, taken the infant twins and the three other children from the home and placed them where he believed the mother could not reach them. But she did and, according to the court, “the chief difficulty with the claims of counsel is that they are made several centuries too late.” Further, “it has been an all too frequent utterance by courts in the past that the paramount right to the custody of the children is in the father. That rule was largely the result of the fact that long ago he was the sole propery owner and charged solely with the duty of family maintenance. By statute, by changed conditions in society, the ‘priest and king' claim as to fathers has been reduced to a mere phrase. As the common law grew out of ancient statutes, decrees and customs, so the mod- ern law of domestic relationship is shaped and determined the new customs and policies of modern life.” Thus another crown crumbles and & - throne totters and falls. The divine rights of kings are reduced to a “mere phrase”” Many courts have so decreed and other courts are doing likewise, and once again the world is saved for democracy—a democracy more vital to the welfare of all than vision of concord in the affairs of nations. Akron, Ohio, reports a spring there that spurts water that tastes like applejack, which is the first word we'd heard that Akron is striving for a million population by Christmas time. (Macon Telegraph.) It is certainly refreshing to have a President who tells people what to do instead of one who asks what he must do.—(Jacksonville Times-Union.) o —r—— ‘Things are getting better. Men are having their pockets mended now.—(Atlanta Constitution.) AS OTHERS SEE JUNEAU; HERE'S HONEST OPINION Recent Visitor with De- stroyer Fleet Gives City Good Write-up Under the caption, Hole View of Beautiful Lawrence Raymon Shockley, Chief Pharmacistst’s Mate, U. S. N, is writing a series of articles regard- ing the trip to Alaska of the five destroyers, recently in Juneau, for the Bremerton (Washington) Daily News Searchlight. One installment taking the voyage is about Juneau, lows: “A of the series, from Wrangell, and is as fol- Sail For June-u At 12:30 a. m, July 24 we sail- ed for Juneau, our next port of call. This is the capital of Alas- ka. Ome of the mbdst interesting sights along the route to Juneau was Wrangell Narrows, a narrow strip of water between Wrangell and Petersburg (the home of the Alaska shrimp’ industry). For two hours the ships wound their way through this twisting nature-made channel with shores so close on either side that it was possible to throw a potato ashore. A very powerful tide rushes through these narrow waters; however, it remains smooth. Going through these nar- rows will always be remembered as one of the main thrills of this cruise. ‘We did not stop at Petersburg, but from the ship it appeared to be a thriving little town and some expressed a wish that they would like to stop, but our schedule called for Juneau as the next stop. Upon entering Juneau we passed through Gastineau Channel, which was very beautiful. We arrived at Juneau at 9 p. m., and the popu- lation and city band turned out. The docks where the ships tied up were thronged with people and everybody seemed as anxious to get ashore as as the population were to see the ships. Shore lib- erty started immediately and dances, radio programs, etc., were booming. This cruise seemed to be just for one good glorious free for all good time for everybody. Active City Juneau is a modern little city and full of activity. One of the largest quartz gold producing mines in the world is located on the steep mountainside in this city, and is of great interest to world travelers. Modern machinery is heard cushing and clashing inthe northern wilds. The Alaska His- torical Museum is an interesting place to visit. Here one sees all kinds of original Indian and Es- kimo art and handicraft—carved ivory, wood and bone; totem poles, spears, boots, baskets, etc. Short trips by auto were available for | visiting surrounding glaciers and lakes. The Auk Lake and the Mendenhall glacier were both very beautiful scenes. Mail service dur- ing this entire cruise had been excellent and it seems that mail boats arrive from the south al- most every day. ‘“‘South” is the native language means Seattle or thereabouts. In Juneau free daily newspapers were passed along on ships immediately after our arriv- al and “Welcome Navy” was the largest headline. EBarly in the morning of July 25 a sharp blast of the ship’s whis- tle was heard and after fully re- covering from sleep we found that the U. S. S. Trevor, tied alongside had gone to the rescue of the S. S. Northwestern, which was south- bound and had gone aground at a point between Skagway and Ju- neau. On our second day in Ju- Smith Flectric Co. | EVERYTHING | | Gastineau Building | | | | ELECTRICAL | | | VISIT THE Salmon Creek Roadhouse ANTON REISS SOMETHING NEW! { —Try Our— TOMATO ROLLS Juneau Bakery Alaska,” | neau, hunting parties, fishing par- ties, baseball games and dances were enjoyed by all ashore. Aids Vessel The Trevor returned to the nest of ships about 5 p. m., hav- ing rescued the Northwestern's passengers. The commander of the squadron and+commanding officer of the Trevor were praised for their good work in lending help to disabled vessel. An occas- jonal airplane was seen flying ov- erhead and it just happened that Jimmy Mattern, round-the-world flier, arrived in he city that ev- ening. So far on this cruise we had not seen the Eskimos and the on- ly snow we had witnessed was that on the snow capped moun- tains; of course, in addition to the ciers. Our second day in Ju- was about’ like the first— -seeing trips, baseball games, As in the United States civ- illan Conservation Corps workers were seen working in the forests and on the roads. Juneau is for- tunate enough to have two hospit- als—one 1is St. Ann’s Hospital, a Catholic institution, and also there is an Indian Bureau hospital, financed by the government and operated principally for the benefit of the natives. It has about 100 beds and is very much like our dispensaries in the U. 8. On our last evening in Juneau a farewell dance was given, and then for a new port of call. — e, POSTMASTER AT KLAWOCK APPOINTED Federal Ra;]-io— Commission Makes Changes in Alaska Licenses WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.—(Spec- ial Correspondence)—Following the recommendation of Delegate Di- mond, the Post Office Department has appointed R.

Lipke of Seldovia has been granted modification of li- cense to change frequency from 178 to 346 kilocycles. Reports from an unofficial source are said to have been cir- culated in Alaska to the effect that Secretary Ickes has given ap- proval for early start of construc- tion of the American section of the Pacific-Yukon Highway.. Unfortunately, this is not so. The Secretary himself, states he has not given such approval. Distribution of the reports of the American section of the High- way Commission is continuing in order to obtain the widest possible publicity. Vic Ross, pilot for Northern Air Transport of Nome and Fair- banks, reached New York Wed- nesday after a voyage from Cali- fornia via the Panama Canal. The metropolitan press carried inter- views with him on aviation in Al- aska. He expected to leave soon for the Chicago Fair and then return home. The Public Works Administra- tion has published two circulars, one of which deals with “The Pur- poses, Policies, Functioning and Organization of the Emergency Ad- ministration” and the other with “Information Required with Appli- catfon for Loans to States, Coun- ties, Municipalities, and Other Public Bodies.” Copies of the circulars may be obtained either from the, Public ‘Works Administration or from the| | office of Delegate Dimond.
